Kirsten and Leigh have been performing and writing together for five years and are known for their often dark, strange and energetic comedic style.

In 2017 The Bloody Marys won the coveted Globe Head Tournament at the Bad Dog Theatre and in 2018 won The World’s Biggest Improv Tournament at the Social Capital theatre, beating out 128 other teams. As writers, Kirsten and Leigh wrote three revues together at The Second City, as well as soon to be released fiction podcast aptly called The Bloody Marys and most recently the sketch show The Bloody Marys Present: Binge. Between them, Kirsten and Leigh are multiple award winners, working actors, writers and friends!
